Sri Yantra with Golden Ratio Triangle and Inscriptions

Avaranas - the nine enclosures, and their Sanskrit Alphabet Letters.There are principally three texts that throw light on this topic.a)Bhavana Upanishad (Bhavanopanishad) from Atharvavedab)Soundaraya Lahiri of Adi Shankaracharyac)Sri Matrika Chakra Viveka of Kashmir ShaivismWe have taken the commentary of Bhavana Upanishad for this book.

Sequence is:i.East ii.NorthEast iii.North iv.NorthWest v.West vi.SouthWest vii.South viii.SouthEastAn ultra powerful Mandala for immense healing and sparking devotion. Made using the Golden Ratio. Lists each of the - Nine Enclosures, - the 9 basic triangles (4 Upward Apex Shiva Triangles + 5 Downwards Apex Shakti Triangles) - the 43 subsequent triangles, - the 8 and 16 petals and 4 gates of the Bhupura, with clear and precise Diagrams inscribed with Sanskrit Seed Sounds.8th Enclosure Aam varäa---- - - - abda-spara-rpa-rasa-gandh pañca-tanmtr pañca-pupab 21 manä iku-dhanu 22 rgä pä 23 dveä äkuä 24Sound, Touch, Form, Taste, Smell are the five direct sensory tolerances, called five alluring arrows.thought producing Mind is the desirous bow ever shooting outwardsfeeling of Infatuation is that which initially entangles and ultimately stranglesfeeling of Aversion is that which hobbles and restricts one's own evolution.-- -- - avyakta-mahattattvam-mahatahäkr iti kmevar-vajrevar-bhagamlin antas triköa-agrag devat 25The unmanifest primordial nature,The individual consciousness,The human egoare the leading divinities of this innermost triangle.Sanskrit Seed Sounds (bija mantra) like Om are potent healing and nourishing energies.
